This project provided comprehensive design and construction services of a reinforced structural concrete training pad measuring a diameter of 210’ to a depth of 8”-12” to support a new V22 Osprey Helicopter Fire Training Simulator. The training pad incorporates recessed fire boxes into the foundation limits to simulate aircraft fires for training. The project provided new utility systems such as compressed air conduit, nitrogen conduit, and LPG vapor / liquid. Electric power was installed to support training activities.

The electrical design included providing a new 480/277V electrical service to serve the site from existing overhead 12.46kV power via a new pad mount transformer. An equipment rack was provided to mount the main panel and branch circuit panels at 480/277 and 208/120V via a step-down dry-type transformer. Power was distributed throughout the site to serve the fire apparatus. PACE Collaborative served as the engineer for Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Engineering design services. PACE provided base bid construction documents, participated in review meetings, performed site investigations and construction phase services to include shop drawing review, responses to contractor questions (RFI’s), on-site observation, and record drawing preparation.
